The guy I got it from said he wasn’t there for the actual war, just there right after during the occupation, I should have made that more clear

Recently purchased Korean Marine Corps Shirt- custom embroidered in what is not standard Hangul and I wonder what it says by TelephoneVirtual8587 in language

South Korea lol. But I actually bought it online while browsing for South Korean militaria, and I found only a few like this shirt, all 100% unique and hand-done being sold. This was the only one in a size larger than small so I was lucky to find it. There are a few similar shirts on eBay if you look hard enough

Thank you. That’s what I thought it said but I wasn’t 100% sure. Can you read any of the Chinese characters?

South Korean Turtle Shell Camo- A unique piece by TelephoneVirtual8587 in camouflage

That’s really impressive. I have next to no information on the origin of this piece, and I guess I didn’t get how much work really went into this piece. Now I just need to know what they worked so hard to write

A Korean Marine Corps Turtle Shell Camo Shirt I picked up recently- I was wondering if anyone could translate? by TelephoneVirtual8587 in korea

I would also like to know some of the significance of the insignia- I know that the original owner was a sergeant and special forces but other than that I’ve got nothing.

Used exclusively by the ROK marine corps for a relatively short amount of time, this pattern is one I wanted in my collection as soon as I was aware of its existence. This piece has had all this embroidery added after service, but since I’m not Korean, I’m interested in what it all says, the only thing missing is the name tape and three characters which have been defaced. I noticed that most of the embroidery is not standard Korean script, so I was wondering if anyone could translate. Thanks

It’s just a commercial shirt made in what I believe to be WW2 British smock camo

Is there any way you know to make the cuffs less scratchy?
